‘An enjoyable, nostalgic coda [to the series that began with Yes Minister] – oddly topical and surprisingly poignant . . . I’m Sorry, Prime Minister stands alone as a witty meditation on contemporary Britain’ DAILY TELEGRAPH ⭑⭑⭑⭑

‘Jonathan Lynn’s writing remains firmly rooted in the rhythms of the original series. It does not shy away from the issues of the day, and its irreverent approach ensures that both wokeness and outdated modes of thinking come in for equal scrutiny. The result is an intelligent debate that never feels heavy, because humour is sewn into every line. This is political satire with heart, intelligence and enormous charm, and it brings the saga of Hacker and Humphrey to a close with laughter and real poignancy’ THEATRE WEEKLY

‘Jonathan Lynn’s elegiac swansong for his well-loved sitcom duo . . . majors in urbane wit and the illicit thrill of hearing old codgers say inappropriate things . . . Lynn’s perspective is arresting on age, irrelevance and their levelling effects – and the characters’ company is as charming as ever’ GUARDIAN

‘A witty, wistful and still-relevant satire . . .  an affectionate portrait and a fond farewell to the familiar characters in their last years’ THE STAGE

‘The dialogue . . . remains the production’s chief pleasure: precise, barbed and rhythmically exact. Every exchange lands with the familiarity of an old standard, yet never feels stale . . . This is political comedy of the highest order: elegant, incisive and poignant’ REVIEWS HUB

'The writing is the production's greatest triumph. There is never a dull moment, and its humour, even regarding . . . grief and loneliness, is profound and heartfelt. Retorts, witty insults and one-liners land with precision, but beneath the absurdity lies genuine tenderness . . . I'm Sorry, Prime Minister is a beautiful swan song and a bittersweet farewell to two of Britain's most enduring satirical creations . . . If you enjoy witty comedies, biting wit and heartfelt prose, then this is the show for you' THEATRE AND TONIC
